Dasyuris leucobathra

Meyrick described this species as follows

♀. 21-25 mm. Head and palpi yellowish mixed with blackish hairs. Thorax blackish, patagia light-yellowish with some black hairs. Abdomen black, sides suffused with yellow, segmental margins slenderly white. Forewings triangular, costa faintly sinuate, apex obtuse, termen rounded, rather oblique ; grey, suffusedly irrorated with blackish, and much mixed with bronzy-yellowish, especially on veins ; lines moderately thick, white, sub-basal and first more slender, curved, median straight or somewhat angulated in middle, second slightly curved outwards on upper 3⁄4, sometimes rounded-angulated in middle, subterminal formed of a waved series of marks or reduced to a short mark from costa : cilia white, barred with grey mixed with blackish. Hindwings with termen rounded ; colour and markings as in forewings, but lines sometimes pale ochreous-yellowish, subbasal and first absent, second more curved, subterminal forming a series of cloudy marks : cilia as in forewings. This species can be distinguished on the basis of the cilia which are coloured with black and white bars to the base where as other species in this genus have cilia which are wholly dark for the basal half.

This species inhabits grassland in the alpine zone and frequents open sunny areas. Larvae of this moth have been observed feeding on species in the genus Anisotome.
